In 2.6.18-rc7, the section that prepares for preemptible periodic work
has two bugs. The first is due to an improper locking sequence that leads
to frozen systems. The second causes netdev watchdog timeouts. Both
are fixed.

John,
This patch has been taken against 2.6.18-rc7. It changes more lines
than would be absolutely necessary to affect the fix; however, it
ends up with this section looking exactly like the current code (with
pending patches) that is in wireless-2.6. That way, it should not
mess up any git trees.
